Hopkins’ fate

n.

The situation in which a person more habituated to condemning others is himself or herself condemned by another party. Applicable also in situations where the condemned party is merely sanctimonious in attitude.

After Matthew Hopkins (1620-1647), putative English Witchfinder General, who, legendarily, was himself found guilty of witchcraft and executed, after having conducted investigations into allegations of witchcraft which ultimately led to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people.

“She is always always moralizing about something, but now she’s the one who’s getting taken to task for her opinions.”

“Yes, it’s Hopkins’ fate.”

The Hoskins Cut

The term was developed to describe the method of switching a high cost product with an identically looking low cost product in order to maximise profits. It is believed to have been first used by Juan Pablo Hoskin in mexico in 1978 when he was the first person to suggest switching cocaine with baking soda.

I used the Hoskins Cut to maximise my profits, switching a high cost item with a cheaper product.

Johns Hopkins is like unprotected sex; happy you got in, upset that you came.

Alex was so happy to get into Johns Hopkins that he did not think of the consequences of attending. Yay i got in... oh shit I came.

school horniness

To be majorly horny at school. To want sex with a fellow student.

Peter gives me a bad case of school horniness. I always have a need for him when I see him.

Hoskinated

The act of failing a class in with a teacher completely overloads everyone with work. When a Teacher is an elitest and gives more work to those failing and less to those passing. And the teacher must be outrageously corny and love puns.

Dude I got hoskinated last semester in AP Euro!
